This works. I was using a syntax like :
Compile[{x}, expression] as the help stated that _Real was the default.
However, it seems that I need to write it as ;
Compile[{x,_Real},expression].
That said, the expressions that I am working with, are :
integrand := Compile[{{y, _Real}, {x1, _Real}, {x2, _Real}}, f1[pl[argument[y]] + x1, x2, c]];
pl[] is an array, f1 and argument are functions (fairly simple functions).
c is a constant.
answer1[x1_, x2_] := Exp[-2 Integrate[integrand[y, x1, x2], {y, a, b}]];
a=0, b~1e-8
I get an error :
CompiledFunction::cfsa: Argument y at position should be a machine-size
real number.
when I try to use answer1 with
jt3=q NIntegrate[v[x1, 50, 0.2] g3[0.2, x1, 50] partjt3[x1]
answer1[0.0, x1], {x1, 50, maxpl + dummyinfinity}, Method -> MonteCarlo, MaxPoints -> 10000];
v, g3, partjt3 are simple functions.
As you can see, this is quite complicated. However, since a and b are
fixed numbers, and nowhere near machine precision, I do not not understand
the error above.
This is leading to other errors later.
Any ideas ?
Thanks again.
